Duncan Black sends us to Ana Marie Cox's twitter feed...
Does Mara Liasson know that Ana Marie Cox works for Air America? With these Mean Girls, it's hard to know one way or another:
Mara Liasson next to me; on the phone; just said "He called on Huffington Post! I was surprised he didn't call on Air America!" Oh honey. about 20 hours ago from TweetDeck....
Just talked to 6 more people post-Obama town hall; 2 of them are currently unemployed. Another 2 were under the age of 10. BUTGAHTHEPORK. about 21 hours ago from TweetDeck....
Just spoke to 12 people here at Obama town hall. Four of them are currently unemployed. Not a single one mentioned "pork." about 23 hours ago from TweetDeck....
LOTS of grumbling post-press conf about HuffPo getting a q; but accusing O of "filibustering" seems to ignore HuffPo q was smart and tough. 6:30 PM Feb 9th from Tweetie in reply to amclive....
Last question. Whew when Huffpo got one I GOT VERY SCARED. (Tho I did have one. Really.) 5:54 PM Feb 9th from twitterrific....
Worried that working on my laptop during the White House press conference is gauche. 5:16 PM Feb 9th from twitterrific....

Line of journalists waiting to get into presser behind me stretches to Lafayette park. BUT DAVID CORN GOT IN GAH http://twitpic.com/1etpk 4:24 PM Feb 9th from Tweetie
Having credential for presser but no hard pass=journalist equivalent of purple pass and I am in the tunnel of doom. 4:11 PM Feb 9th from Tweetie
Livetweeting the presser @amclive; vvvvvvv long line to get in. Some ppl cutting: "If you have a hard pass it's okay." #wonkpickuplines 4:00 PM Feb 9th from Tweetie
Why oh why can't we have a better press corps?
Duncan comments:
Entitled: If Ana Marie Cox's twitters are to be believed, many in the elite press corps were horrified that Sam Stein was allowed to ask Obama a question. This has nothing to do with whether it was a good or interesting question, but simply about where in the pecking order he's supposed to be...
